No surprise there. Pelosi and the liberals do not understand the costs of drug research. They only see the money made on successful drugs and think “Those profits are too high! Big Pharma must be punished for its greed!” They don’t see the tens of millions that those same companies pour into research that does not pan out. Given the number of drugs that fail, drug companies need to be able to reap large profits on the few that succeed or they will be unable to do research.

Plus, it takes highly educated and skilled researchers to come up with these medicines. People like that are less common than burger flippers, front-end aligners, and middle managers, and thus should command higher salaries.
